It's not actually a meme, supply side memes (aka corporate collusion) have absolutely gutted your nation, and you will never recover from it without a radical technological paradigm shift that you actually capitalize upon.

The only false part is that there's actually any other choice to vote for. Hillary is also a neo-con whose policy contrasts are purely cosmetic.

It's the same thing all over the western world, where all parties have been co-opted in full.

Like in my own country, people sperg about how Justin is a leftist radical ect ect, but at the end of the day, he still supports neo-conservatism. He tweaks the numbers a bit, a slight rollback to early 00 levels, and calls that anti-austerity. But it's not. Our markets, like yours are now, and would be under the the Gop or the Dems are wide open for exploitation, while the value of domestic labour continues to plummet, and actors such as China are free to manipulate their currency and domestic policies (while maintaining their own robust VAT's) to create situations that it's impossible to compete with unless comprehensive tariffs are put into place to protect lucrative markets that should be a privileged to access, as they are maintained by the commons.

Pretty much the only potential mainstream break in this long march to a service economy for the entire west has been Trump, but he's only paid lip service, and delivered nothing substantial whatsoever, so I wouldn't hold your breath. He can't actually "you're fired" his way out of 45 years of treaties and agreements, not without completely destroying the concept of the US being an entity that it is safe to enter into agreements with. Which is a suicidal position for a nation to be in that relies upon fiat currency, and situations such as the petrodollar.

Kicking out illegals with criminal records is more likely to happen since Trump said he would allow those without criminal records back in. Also, Obama stopped Iraqi refugees to migrate here in 2011 after finding out terrorist infiltrated those refugees in order to get into the US. Trump is simply proposing the same thing Obama executed in 2011, in order to strengthen security proceedings, then he will cancel the ban.

Trump's tax plan
>>
Its quite simple anon...
We can use Reaganomics as a model.
The reduction of socialist programs which are currently in place would see a staggering reduction in taxes.
This reduction in taxes would mean people have more green in their pocket and they're willing to spend it.
As there is a rise in a demand, the supply will rise as a result.
Businesses require employees to produce the goods they wish to sell, and this rise in employment will increase the fluctuation of money."
This money will begin to increase in value as a result of market prosperity.
And therefore people will be able to finally live comfortably with the minimum wage which is already set, since increasing the minimum wage would result in inflation and an increase on the cost of living as well as companies laying off workers and maybe even industrializing to ensure higher profit.
In regards to health, universal health care would force insurance companies to find other methods of making money since they profit from health services, and the accessibility to free healthcare would drop their profit margins and insurance premiums would go up as a result.
In general services and products tend to deteriorate in quality with governmental economic intervention, due to the idea of meeting needs instead of demands.
People are poor because the vote for socialist principles instead of conserving our capitalist system.

That's the whole big secret of why Trump is so successful. He's found a way to cuck the poor white population more effectively than the establishment.

Its like how he was against abortion and then is now saying "but the laws the law". Why do you think he's doing that for abortion, but is gonna be real strong on other issues that have already been ruled on, like say...Obamacare?

He's cucking you. That's what's happening. He's a liar and a salesman and you're being sold Trump. But fortunately he's going to get ultracucked in the general so meh. (Although he might get cucked for the nomination)

One question. Do any of you know how delegates for the national convention are picked? I'm a campaign manager for a down-ballot democratic campaign. We've been selecting delegates the past month to go to our state convention, where they will then select the delegates sent to the national convention.

These delegates aren't exactly going to be pro-trump. They aren't the "new votes" being brought into the process. They are the people who have attended select board and town meetings, who know the names of all of their city councilors or their school board. They're establishment. And they have a shit ton of power that most people don't realize, and they all hate Trump.

They are legally bound to cast their first ballot for trump, presuming that they are trump delegates. But they aren't legally bound to try to do things like vote to unbind themselves on the first ballot during their rules and credentials committees. The democratic delegates tried to do that against Jimmy Carter in 1980.

Those same delegates can (and will) challenge the credentials of individual elections. This is where the red tape and bureaucracy kicks in to try to stop Trump. Trump will not be the nominee.

Of course, if he is i'll be ecstatic. You people are eagerly cheering on your own defeat, and the loss of anyone on the R side of things who doesn't forcefully disassociate with Trump during the general

it's stupid to believe that people disagree with you because they're stupid, ignorant, misinformed, duped, etc. if a person can't face why politics exists in the first place, how could they possibly expect others to "get it"?
>>
>>69720344
Shit, google "faithless delegates" those are a thing. Blatantly undemocratic, but there isn't an enforcement arm already in place.

Real talk. If Trump doesn't get well past the majority of delegates, he's gonna have a ton of trouble getting the nomination. He has zero local ground game.

Like, none. Ted cruz has been focusing at the grassroots level for a while. Even Kasich has some people. But Ted Cruz has been actively courting the people who end up delegates for some time.

That's the other thing. It's a primary. So for lots of these small town Town Caucuses where they nominate delegates, they don't even have enough people for all their delegates. So if Ted Cruz stuffs the local meetings with his people (as he has done so) he can have an entire town's delegation as Cruz people.

And then that town goes to the state convention where other towns with Cruz people and them all get together and nominate their national delegates.

The game isn't rigged, even if it feels like it is. You just literally haven't been playing it.

It's very much in the interest for the middle class not to have socialist gibsmedats leech off them.

As for the leeches themselves, if they were smart, they would vote libertarian one election, and socialist the next, assuring that money is made in one cycle, and then stealing it in the next.

But if they understood long-term consequences, they probably wouldn't be leeches to begin with.

You can't even have an honest conversation about lowering taxes because retards like him will just strawman and cry about muh trickle down meme. If you were to propose lowering EVERY tax bracket's tax rate by 5%, liberals will say that you're only helping the rich because they will save the most money from this.

because it is a tax cut for the rich you retard.

Lets do some napkin math. Assuming things still cost the same (like fixing roads and paying for government and whatnot), but we still cut revenue, then that means folks lose their jobs, we lose social services, etc.

Compare that to someone who makes 20,000 and a 5% tax cut saves them say, 1,000. Meanwhile that cut saves a millionaire 50,000+

The total coming out of the state's budget is mostly comprised of rich people money. So it's a tax cut for the rich. It the money was mostly coming from poor people, it would be a tax cut for the poor.

we live in an anarchic world. the state isn't some transcendent thing looming over folks. it's a thing we do. people have property and guns, and force other people to do shit. this is literally the anarchist world people warn that anarchy would lead to.

politics isn't just governance, governance is about mitigating the conflict that is politics. it's about keeping this thing together when it would otherwise fly apart. politics is an ongoing conflict. when you decide to take a 15 minute shit at work every day you work - that's political conflict. everyone has either heard this joke before, made the joke, or actually does it - "never shit on your time, never break a sweat on theirs." this is just an example of how the most simple animal behavior we engage in - taking a shit - can be a political act. politics is a conflict, and that conflict is over wealth

If you consider how often you ACTUALLY use those services and the QUALITY of those, you don't get good bang for your buck. Those studies assume you actually use the service often enough to get a return on it.

No they don't. They are comparing health insurance in the US, with universal healthcare in europe. It's like with like. You could say health insurance is not worth it if you never use it enough to get the money back. But both systems are about managing risk. Otherwise we'd all just pay for healthcare costs up front. Why not.

What european ones are? Ireland actually has one of the worst managed healthcare systems, we get bad value for money. Yet we're the fastest growing economy in europe and have high GDP per capita.

Not true actually. Almost every study shows American quality of healthcare above and beyond any other country on earth. All of the top specialists are here and if they aren't here they come here often enough for it to not matter. They also don't compare HSAs to European healthcare, which means you're effectively cutting out the best healthcare plan.

>No they don't
Yes, they do. It's all about return vs. money spent. Few Americans see their doctor more often than an annual insurance physical. Many Americans don't even go for the latter.

>If we run out of money, we cut back on services, like every other part of government expenditure.

Agreed. America has the best healthcare available if you have money. But it's consistently worse value for money. 50% worse if i recall. It's probably even worse with obongocare.

>Few Americans see their doctor more often than an annual insurance physical.
Same here. But what do they do if they get cancer or some other shitty condition and have no insurance? They either die of it, suffer a shitty life, can pay for the astronomical costs themselves, or their family carried the burden. Here we prefer to pitch in to fund a universal healthcare system. In Ireland specifically, you can pay for insurance if you want to have access to private hospitals, which many opt for.

>Britain. Spain. Greece.
How is britain's bankrupt? Spain and Greece are just generally bankrupt. Other countries manage it just fine like the UK.

>So not only are you spending money on a service you aren't even using, you're spending money on a service that you won't even have access to?
I've used our national service a few times, but not often. But yes, it's insurance. It's simply to avoid astronomical costs if i have a health crisis, which hopefully never happens. And yes I'll have access to it. Why would I not?

This is actually a common myth. Hospitals actually budget accordingly for such costs and cheap payment plans are frequently set up for those who cannot afford full price. The people who get "fucked" are those that can actually afford it, i.e. those who should pay full fucking price.

Christ. Let me tell you why poor white people vote for conservatives and republicans (which aren't the same thing). Cons and Repubs often promote the idea of job creation and less government handouts to encourage people to go get said jobs which helps the local economy and raises them up.

In essence, the reason poor white people want cons and repubs to win is because they still (incorrectly) believe that they are more likely to get work with them in power and raise themselves out of poverty. This is flawed logic because Repubs and Cons do not actually achieve this, however, they promise to do so and to be fair actually do more to promote unskilled labor jobs (the jobs these people need) so it is literally in their best interest to vote for those people.

Dems and Libs idea of helping the poor is to keep them under the control of government programs with the threat of removing those programs if the people using them try to escape the poverty needed to be in those programs. This goes against the core ideals of 'working for a living' that is emblazoned in the very fiber of the american working class.

That is why those stupid trailer trash cousin fuckers want Cons to win, so that they might be afforded the chance to work their way out of being trailer trash cousin fuckers. Keep in mind this isn't a universal thing and some are just 'Muh Religion comes first' but by and large many just want the chance to work their way out of shit and feel that Cons can deliver that.

What are you on about? Chemo treatment is expensive no matter what. THere's been plenty of horror stories of people being landed with $100,000 bills will being treated for a head injury in the US and shit. I'm sure hospitals can offer deal, but not below cost or even near it.

>NHS has been bankrupt for YEARS
How so? What's not having 24-7 got to do with it being "bankrupt"? People will just have to pay for doctors instead when they aren't available.

>they HAVE to serve me AND I can get the price knocked down to something I can afford if necessary. So who's getting the raw deal again?
They can put you on a waiting list until they have resources for any length of time. They don't have to give you an price you can afford. That makes no sense.
>>
>>69728166
>NHS has been bankrupt for YEARS
This. The NHS is a failure. Once you make healthcare "free" you artificially drive demand up due to the lower prices, which causes scarcity.

How are they serving their purpose? The purpose of a hospital is for emergency treatment at a moments notice. How the fuck are they serving this purpose if they're closed 2 days a week and 4 hours a day every day they're open.

>Legally they have to find resources that don't exist to treat you? Sounds like a great system.
You see, Potatonigger, here in America the hospitals actually have resources on hand because they're not dependent on government funds that don't exist.

That's cool. So the system relies on private hospitals being nice enough to cover your costs for you? Other people using the hospital have to pay more to cover the loses they make on you.

>The purpose of a hospital is for emergency treatment at a moments notice.
That's the ideal, but not the purpose. The purpose is to be a centre of care. I agree it's shit that it's closed 2 days a week.

>here in America the hospitals actually have resources on hand because they're not dependent on government funds that don't exist.
What funds do they use then to fund your treatment that you can't afford to pay? Everyone else who uses the hospital has to pay more then?

I have a choice. That and private health insurance would actually have to compete which would drive down costs and achieve more quality healthcare. The idea that people will make smart financial decisions with other people's money is not true.

The government generally subsidizes a portion of the cost, but not the full thing.

>That's the ideal, but not the purpose
That is literally the purpose of a hospital. It's not a fucking doctor's office.

>What funds do they use then to fund your treatment that you can't afford to pay? Everyone else who uses the hospital has to pay more then?
Government subsidies, overcharging insurance, donor resources. The big cash cows are Medicaid and Medicare because the hospitals can charge the government whatever they fuck they want and get away with it because the government can't say "We're not paying that." In my case, it was government subsidy plus the new HSA. It's really too bad that HSA's became illegal with Obamacare. Whenever government touches healthcare they fuck it up.

Oh right, so basically close to what we do. If you can't afford healthcare, the government pays for your treatment. Everyone else pays you with higher taxes.

Only the deadweight benefit under Bernie. I'd consider myself middle class and he'd be the worst for me. I already get healthcare because I have a job, and I am already college educated so don't give a fuck if that's free. I don't want more coming from my paycheck to propel the dumb and lazy.

That's the misconception people have when comparing a state to a country.

You can compare the US and UK GDP as a whole or US state with a UK region like Greater London. Mixing the two is inaccurate

Private. Basically, you pay a portion of your paycheck into an account tax-free. Generally your HSA provider or employer (sometimes both) matches the amount you put in to a certain point. Said HSA provider then uses the account like a bank does, but also negotiates cheap healthcare costs (like private insurance). It's basically all the benefits of insurance for a fraction of the cost. When the ACA passed, HSAs were no longer allowed for some reason so what had "cost" me a whopping $35 a paycheck now costs $300 a month for a shitty $2000 deductible bare bones coverage plan. Trumps looking to do away with all of that and allow HSAs again. Pretty nifty, would recommend.

>>69731144
>Oh right, so basically close to what we do.
Nah. Governments subsidize private hospitals to ensure that they can't legally turn away patients. They don't pay for treatment unless you're on Medicaid or Medicare.

>Everyone else pays you with higher taxes.
Comes out of FICA. It's a flat rate for everyone unless you're a business owner or freelancer.

>The fuck is that
Hospitals charge insurance companies more than individuals because the insurance companies can afford to pay more and still make hella profit.

>Wow, what a great system
Wouldn't be so fucked up if government wasn't involved in the first place.

That's pretty interesting. Is the term Hospital accounting service or health savings account? Trying to read up more on this.

>They don't pay for treatment unless you're on Medicaid or Medicare.
Did your $36k bill get covered by medicaid? What about cancer/emergency care when you can't afford it?

>Comes out of FICA.
a yes is fine

>because the insurance companies can afford to pay more and still make hella profit.
That sounds like grade A liberal economics right there. "You can charge insurance companies more because they make so much money anyways LOL". The result of this is insurance costs going up for everyone. So insurance holders end up paying for people who can't afford their treatment.

>Did your $36k bill get covered by medicaid?
Nah, I didn't qualify for Medicaid then. I do now thanks to Obamacare, whether I deserve it or not.

>What about cancer/emergency care when you can't afford it?
Cancer treatment they set up payment plans. Usually pretty affordable if you're not stupid about it. Emergency care is what I had.

>a yes is fine
The cost doesn't drive up taxes for anyone. FICA contributions haven't increased since the fucking 60's.

>That sounds like grade A liberal economics right there. "You can charge insurance companies more because they make so much money anyways LOL". The result of this is insurance costs going up for everyone. So insurance holders end up paying for people who can't afford their treatment
All because hospitals can charge Medicaid and Medicare whatever the fuck they want. Now you realize why 80% of U.S. spending is on Social Security and Medicaid and why the majority of socialized health programs are fucking broke. The only way to realistically drive down healthcare costs without deferring costs to the taxpayer is to remove government interference entirely.
>>
>>69732624
>Nah, I didn't qualify for Medicaid
So who ended up covering your bills? Sounds like it was other people in the hospital.

> Usually pretty affordable if you're not stupid about it.
And suppose you are poor and can't afford $100,000 no matter how long you are given to pay it off? At some point they have to take a loss on the treatment if they are going to offer, and someone else will have to pay the costs. How do they even know what you can pay? Do they means test you?

>The cost doesn't drive up taxes for anyone.
Then were does this magic tax money come from? Either taxes are increased, or spending cuts are made someplace else. I don't see much of that happening in the US..

I'm a bit late, but here: http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/3/25/11293258/tax-plan-calculator-2016

The tax rates use the payroll tax as well; it's actually spot on for me as shown here, because I'm a freelancer-- I pay 100% of my payroll taxes, because there is no empoyer-employee split for me.

>>69732624

>Nothing else makes any sense.

Let me simplify it. The average american pays around £6500 in tax on £35,000. The average brit pays £8100 on £35,000.

If the UK's tax bracket were the same as the US it would push up purchasing power parity(PPP), the very thing the #49 state thing was based on.

In other words if the playing field was level with other US states the average worker in the UK would see a large increase in disposable wealth and would seem wealthier than they are now

Yes, not just the rich would face an increase in taxes. However, for the middle class, since you would no longer have to pay for insurance and college, you would actually be saving money in total.
>>
>>69734319
>since you would no longer have to pay for insurance and college
Supposing the tax increases do not kick in before universal health care and free college is implemented.

Not the bernie will be able to pull off any of that.

No one cares about poor whites in rural areas/appalchia. If anything, they get ridiculed for their accent and being "backwards" because they haven't been indoctrinated by mass media and cultural Marxism dominated colleges. Plus, a lot of these places would be considered "third world" by development standards. Some people have no running water, have to drive 30 miles to make $8 an hour. Daily reminder that the southern accent is the evolution of original British accent brought to the USA.

These people vote republican because the left has lost their fucking mind, also giving your paycheck to the government is NEVER a good idea. These types are typically antigovernment and tax dollars help fund more 3 letter agencies that don't have your best interests in mind. Lower taxes = less government intervention and a larger pay check.

Try harder you cucks

>>69734516
Lower middle class is based on the state you live in, it's not a blanket term that can cover the entire USA. There are places in KY, WV, OH I known for a fact you can love cozy on $11 an hour. Try that in New York or one of Americas meme cities and you'll starve within the first week.
